Subtropical fruits are those fruits which are grown in subtropical climates on commercial basis. There has been a gaping void in the text of Sub-tropical fruits which were discussed in depth, and also were in accordance with the nationwide syllabus for the students, hence a textbook has been written keeping in mind the urgent need.

Features:

• Efforts have been made to describe fruits of subtropical regions in a systematic and comprehensive manner. The subject matter illustrated with figures and tables, wherever, felt necessary.

• Each chapter has been divided into introduction, origin and distribution, composition and uses, botanical description, climate and soil, cultivars, propagation, planting, training and pruning, manures and fertilizers, irrigation management, intercropping, rejuvenation, pests and diseases managements, harvesting and yield, physiological disorders and storage. Glossary containing related terms has been presented.

• The book has been written keeping in view the requirements of the graduate, post graduate students, teachers and research scientists in subtropical fruits as per the latest updations of the 5th Deans’ Committee Recommendations.
